In accepting for the first time a timetable for the creation of an independent Palestinian state, the Israeli cabinet may have sealed the fate of modern Israel. If Israel dismantles so-called “settlements” while Yasser Arafat and his crony, Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, add to their long list of broken promises the promise to end terrorism, […]

Palestinian terrorism, particularly in Israel’s southern Mediterranean coast area, shows no sign of stopping. A total of three Kassam rockets were fired at the Negev city of Sderot today, and two people were treated for shock. The first one landed early this morning in a built-up area, followed an hour later by one that hit […]

For the past decade, Israel has been fundamentally anti-democratic in one crucial sense. Every single government except for that of Ehud Barak was headed by people who ran on one political platform and then did the exact opposite. Only Barak did what he stated he would do.

Jonathan was never accused, indicted or convicted of treason, but that has not stopped the U.S. Government’s deliberate mischaracterization of Jonathan and the offense he committed. Nor was he indicted for spying AGAINST the United States, only for […]

Yesterday’s Cabinet vote in favor of the Road Map made it contingent upon 14 “comments” that Israel submitted to the Americans.

The two are founding members of the Tekumah party, a faction in the National Union, which for the first time is fielding a list of candidates in the upcoming Jerusalem […]

Another terror attack occurred in Gaza today – and another miracle. A bus traveling northwards from Netzarim to the Karni crossing early this afternoon drove over a roadside bomb planted by Palestinian murderers. Nine people were wounded, including two who were taken to a hospital in Be’er Sheva in moderate condition. “There is no doubt […]

“I’m telling you frankly, the attitude of Islam is not to accept a foreign state in this area.” So said Hamas spokesman Mahmoud Zahar on Tuesday on BBC – yet he met last night with Abu Mazen to discuss conditions for a “ceasefire.” PA Prime Minister Abu Mazen met with leaders of the Hamas terrorist […]
